Savory Semolina Cake /Eggless Sooji Cake

I had bookmarked this recipe for Savory Semolina Cake from TBC long time ago and had since been in my to-do list. She had adapted this recipe from Anjum Anand’s website from Here. So last Friday evening when I had some time I decided to give this a try. I involved DS in this as he likes mixing, measuring etc and it is a good way to keep him busy. At the end of it all he feels proud and happy that he is a big boy and that he can bake a cake.

It did not take much time to put this together; let me warn you that the batter by itself tastes delicious and is addictive. I was not hungry at that time; otherwise I am sure I would have finished eating the batter as is.:-)

Don’t be bothered by the long list of ingredients below. The process of making this is simple and straight forward. It is versatile too and you can substitute any vegetable of choice instead of the ones that I have listed like cabbage, beans etc or skip some ingredients, make it spicy and probably add more greens like spinach, Methi etc.

Taste Test: It is a light tasting savory cake; the inside tastes like vegetable Upma/Rava Idli but with lightly crusted outside. As an added bonus, it is healthy, low fat and guilt free snack too. Good one to snack on as is or as an accompaniment with afternoon tea/coffee. I am glad I found this and I am sure I will make this often.

Hello, I bookmarked this recipe a few months ago and the times has come today. I am eating two pieces as I type this, it is SO good, I will definitely make it another time. I didn’t have all those condiments, but I added oregano, basil, harissa, paprika powder and some curry. It’s very good. Thank you!
